An elegant Swiss specialty: "Chronographe" style medical/military wristwatch from the 1940s • Chromed case in a condition consistent with its age, with heavy patina • Special, original condition – the dial and hands lend a unique, historical character to the watch • Fixed lug case • Swiss manual wind movement – 16-jewel antique caliber with reliable operation • Service history unknown; the watch works and keeps time well • Stunning black dial with multiple scales: telemetric and internal "snail dial" tachymeter scale • Stainless steel back (marked Fond Acier Inoxydable) • New gray leather strap with white decorative stitching • Case diameter: approx. 33.6 mm (without crown) • Lug-to-lug distance: approx. 39.5 mm • Classic medical/military design, highly popular among collectors due to the complex, "dashboard" style dial • Characterful, heavily patinated condition, in "as found" state with natural signs of use resulting from its age This watch is an interesting highlight of 1940s Swiss watchmaking. Although the "Chronographe" inscription is featured on the dial and it possesses complex measurement scales (telemetry, tachymeter), this is an elegant daily wearer with a fixed minute hand. The "Snail Dial" and the golden inscriptions on a black background create a patinated elegance that makes this piece truly special in person. No reserve price – the highest bid takes it! The photos are original, not manipulated, and form part of the description. The watch is a used (vintage) piece, therefore minor scratches or signs of use may occur. Fast, insured shipping.
